Matthew 5:13-16
Holy Land Village Lights and the 21st Century Church
Introduction: When salt is applied to a substance, it dissolves inward and disappears. The salt speaks of the inward part, the character of a Christian. But Jesus described His people as being like light, which is on the outside, always apparent. The light speaks of the testimony a follower of Christ is to have, revealing and illuminating the truth.
As we consider these verses about the testimony of a believer, let’s consider three little words: who, what and how.
- Who
- What
1. The foolishness of concealed light.
2. The faithfulness of courageous light
3. The forcefulness of collective light
- How
Final Thought: God shinning through you will be automatic, and people will be naturally attracted to the light, just as a man in darkness is drawn to a candle.
